One of my favorite Ronnie and The Ronettes records was a song called "When I Saw You," and it's a record that is never played on the radio.
"I SawLinda Yesterday" by Dickey Lee from 1962 has a strange resemblance to Dion's "Runaround Sue" from 1961. It must be the dum diddley dum thing, which is not to be confused with Little Miss Dynamite, Brenda Lee's, "Dum Dum."

Did somebody say Little Miss Dynamite? Can't forget a Number Six Record called "That's All You Gotta Do" from 1960.
Which reminds me of the anthem of nearly every graduating class from late 1965 forward, "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" by The Animals.
Another one of the great rock disc jockeys was the wild and wacky "Mad Daddy," a star in Cleveland on WJW and WHK in the 1950s, and in the early 1960s in New York on WINS; after WINS went all-news, he returned, under his real name Pete Myers, to a middle-of-the-road persona and station WNEW but sadly became despondent and killed himself in 1968.
It's become popular in ballparks for fans to serende an unsuccessful, unliked pitcher on his way to the showers with "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam.

Goodbye Cruel World was a great one by James Darren, no relation to Bobby Darin. Both of those guys' last names weren't their real names either.Mayberry said:And how can we ever remember GOODBYE by Mary Hopkin in 1969.
Interestingly, both of those artists had attempted comeback hits during 1967. Or was it '72? I don't have that info handy at this hour.

The Delegates had a kind of politcal Top 10 one hit wonder record called Convention '72, in 1972 and it was similar to Buchanan & Goodman's "The Flying Saucer" with excerpts of other songs included throughout the record.
Those Dickie Goodman-type singles with excerpts of other songs included throughout the record are often referred to as "break-in" recordings, and one of them that broke into the Top 40 was "Moonflight" by Vik Venus Alias: Your Main Moon Man, a pseudonym for yet another late, great New York City disc jockey, Jack Spector of WMCA, WCBS-FM, and WHLI fame.

"Kiss Me Now" was an early Phil Spector record on the Phi-Dan record label recorded by Florence DeVore, and it's a very tough record to find, but it's gem that is a must hear by anyone who likes that sound!

I can hear them in my head!
"Well she's so tough, ough, ough, ough, that's why I love her!
Well I met a pretty girl walkin' down the street,
Just the kind of girlie that I like to meet!"

"He's THE KIND OF Boy you Can't Forget" was indeed a great song, and so was their other hit called "What A Guy" on Jubilee, and although the flip wasn't as great, it's definitely worth a spin or two, a nice uptempo number called "It's So Wonderful."
